On our way from Milford Sound to Queenstown we heard about this old steam trains in service. After a long journey this is where you will be able to get petrol or diesel for your vehicle. Thank God for that. Anyways we enjoyed the scenery but did not have time to dine or take the ride.

We happened to stop in Kingston during our journey from Queenstown to Te Anau for a rest and coffee. Getting to the end of the beach we discovered The Kingston Flyer - and enquired about its schedule (we were staying in Queenstown, so it was a possible day trip for us to do).

The news is that the engines are being reconditioned through to Jan 2013. It doesn't appear that any firm date is set for re-starting.

The shame is that the cafe was also closed - we could really have done with a cuppa!
